Right - But Phil's argument follows +- the same logic than the
argument against e-voting stations: Will our caterers trust our
machine's workings? If we get out of electricity at one point, how
will we make sure the numbers for that day are counted correctly? It's
easier to use "real-world" tokens (i.e. tickets), however old-school
it seems.
